1. Went shopping AGAIN today and AGAIN it wasn't too successful. Thankfully we stayed in Cheonan but after hours of shopping all we bought was tights for me and socks for Ryan! ㅋㅋㅋ!
2. Switched meals with Yoon at lunch cause I didn't know how to pick at the meat in the soup. Then 5 1/2 hours later he informs me it wasn't tofu I ate...it was dried chunks of PIG'S BLOOD!!! I thought I was going to faint! Maybe I should try out for "Fear Factor".
3. Spent a good part of the evening pondering who the heck would even come up with the idea of collecting pig's blood and then incorporating it into a meal!
4. Question of the day from the sales people was "why is she [me] wearing two jackets?" News flash ladies....it's winter outside. You've got Korean women with totally mis-matched clothing, pairing skirts with pants, and wearing cowboy boots with althetic gear and yet you think I'm dressed weird?! What's up with that?! Ryan was too polite about it. He told people I was sporting "Toronto-style".
5. Saved over $600 at Yawoori, mind you that was because I couldn't bring myself to buy the coat and purse that I really liked. I really wanted the jacket but wasn't about to shill out that much cash.
6. I love it.... Korean's insist of eating super spicy food despite the fact that it makes them sweat and it totally kills their taste buds, not too mention breath! ㅋㅋㅋ! Shared spicy chicken with Ryan and watched him sweat eating it. It was like he was doing a workout!
7. Had my first bubble bath in Korea! Now this is the life! ㅋㅋㅋ!
8. Got my fingers crossed for Andi's mom. She's in Las Vegas and I'm hoping she'll win big so that she can fly Andi out here! Talk about hoping high eh!
9. How great is Ryan.... he froze his butt off riding back to my place to pick up my lesson planning stuff so that I could spend more time with him tonight. That guy's awesome!
10. I admit it... I'm addicted to banana milk and tangerines despite the fact that the milk here is so thick and gives me a tummy ache practically EVERY time I drink it.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's the worst thing you ever ate?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
When the oak is felled the forest echoes with its fall, but a hundred acorns are sown silently by an unnoticed breeze.
-- Thomas Carlyle
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
